This patch looks troublesome for layering reasons.
lib/classifier.[ch] and lib/flow.[ch] are in a layer that is supposed
to be ofproto-provider agnostic.  That is, among other constraints, it
should not depend on Linux kernel headers.  We may have to come up
with a more neutral way to represent the tun_key for general userspace
purposes than to use ovs_key_ipv4_tunnel.
